Product: The characteristics of the product that considers include the inherent complexity of the product, reliability requirements of the product, etc.Ĭomputer: The Characteristics of the computer that considers include the execution speed required, storage space required, etc.
The basic COCOMO estimation model is of the following forms: The basic COCOMO model is a single variable heuristic model that gives an approximate estimate of the project parameters. General form of the Basic COCOMO Expressions: Team members may have limited experience in related systems but they may be unfamiliar with some aspects of the system being developed.
Embedded:Ī development project considers the embedded type, if the software being developed is strongly coupled to hardware, or if stringent regulations on the operational procedures exist. Team members may have limited experience in related systems but may be unfamiliar with some aspects of the system being developed. It consists of a mixture of experienced and inexperienced staff. Semidetached:Ī development project classifies the semidetached type if the development team. We can classify a development project to be of the organic type if the project deals with developing a well-understood application program, the size of the development team is reasonably small, and the team members are experienced in developing similar types of projects.
